In summary: February home sales in Cookeville were dominated by first time home buyers. Homes under $200K were the fastest moving category, as first time buyers were undeterred by the cold weather. For the most part, move up buyers chose to stay home and wait for warmer weather. We should see more movement in the higher price categories in the spring.
